RT Journal Article T1 Monolithically integrated microwave frequency synthesizer on InP generic foundry platform A1 Lo, Mu Chieh A1 Zarzuelo García, Alberto A1 Guzmán Martínez, Robinson Cruzoe A1 Carpintero del Barrio, Guillermo AB A photonic integrated circuit for microwave generation is proposed and experimentally validated. On the microchip, two tunable monochromatic lasers spectrally separated by 0-10.7 nm are monolithically integrated with one high-speed photodiode in heterodyne configuration for enabling continuous RF synthesis from 2 to 42 GHz. Under free-running operation, the two lasers with 20-40 MHz optical linewidth produce RF beat note with ~90 MHz electrical linewidth at the on-chip photodiode. This is the first demonstration of such a fully integrated microwave photonic generator developed within an open-access generic foundry platform.
